My Neighbor Cuts their Avocado Tree in Preparation for Typhoon Rai (Odette)
(Edited)

There is a typhoon/cyclone/storm coming close to the Philippines in which I live. Its international name is Rai but its local name is Odette. From what I heard from the news it is quite strong with winds blowing at 185KPH and is still growing stronger and is expected to land fall in the Philippines in 2 hours.
It's may not be as strong as Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) which is the strongest Typhoon that ever hit the Philippines way back in November 2013, right now but we never know as Typhoons are quite unpredictable and can grow weaker or grow stronger as they hit land.
But one of my neighbors who has a first hand experience in the Typhoon Haiyan, he is quite worried about the Typhoon which will hit our Province of Cebu later around 7 to 9 hours from now.
In order to prepare for the worst he decided to cut an Avocado tree near their house. The huge branches of the tree was directly above their roof and it might break and fall directly into their house which will cause a lot of damage to their house.
I was a little bit late on noticing their actions as I was quite busy myself to prepare for the up coming storm as well.
As you can see, the rain is already pouring down even though Typhoon Rai (Odette) hasn't even made a land fall in the Philippines.
The wind is slowly becoming stronger and stronger as time passes by.
I just can't help but be amazed on how skillful the guy cutting the tree is. It's raining quite heavily now and winds are blowing heavily as well.
I'm pretty sure the trunk of the tree is quite slippery now but he just don't slip, not that I'm waiting for him to slip. It's just absolutely amazing.
That tree is not a short one as well. It is probably around 20 to 30 meters tall.
It was a sight to behold so I just couldn't help myself but take pictures of it. I really wish I had a better camera. I just zoomed in to get a better picture of him and as you can see some shots were not particularly as good as I wanted them to be.
I wanted to stay until they were finished but the rain is getting stronger and stronger by the minute so I just had to go back home. As of this moment they are still cutting the tree down. Luckily that guy worked so fast and have already cut the major branches with a lot of leaves on it.
Trees are useful at this times to prevent land slides but in this case an Avocado tree is not a strong tree and it can easily snap that is why they just had to cut it down.
I hope everyone else is also preparing for the Typhoon and stay safe guys especially in the areas where the Typhoon will pass.

I understand why they had to bring the tree down.
That man up there sure knows what is doing. He looks so comfortable on the tree.
Yes that is his job so he is quite adept on cutting trees but I'm still quite afraid for him, one slip and he is probably gonna be hurt pretty bad as there are a lot of big branches that he already cut at the bottom of the tree. It's a pretty tough job to be honest, he doesn't even have a safety gear or something similar
Yeah, I think that's what he needs. Just a couple of gears just Incase he slips and falls.
But he looks very comfortable there nonetheless.
Nice photos

Good job to that man. He's thinking for his neighbors' safety.
It's dangerous but he did it to save lives.

Hmm he is an experienced tree cutter, his work is clean. Thankful he have the opportunity to cut the tree before the typhoon comes.Stay safe mo bay.Here in Carcar City also strong winds and rain
I hope everything gonna be ok
Shame to lose some branches, that will also some mean some loss of fruit productions, but much better to save the house and prevent any possible damage. I hope you're making it through and staying safe.

I can only imagine the devastation brought by Odette...
Please stay safe there. I wish for the safety of you and your family 🙏🙏
That's actually a great initiative from your neighbor. Cutting the branches helps lessen the damages caused by the strong winds from the typhoon. I hope more people would be more aware of this issue.
